This amazing robust female by Bracito has a pedigree that includes Torbio, Baron Lafite & Peruvian Ramilo - fantastic founding Peruvian imports.
At a certain point we realized we had sold a number of Torbio girls without holding some for ourselves. When opportunity knocks, especially on one of these - you swing open the door. Gracie has a larger frame so we bred her to a male with nice conformation and very uniform fine fleece.
Gracie delivered a big, strong, male by S... |

This guy felt like a long time coming to us. His mom had not been bred for many years by her prior owner and she slipped her first pregnancy for us. So, we were more than grateful when he came along. He has a pedigree including Bracito, Torbio, Macqyver... His name came to me thinking of rock & roller Grace Slick.
He was born sturdy and strong and absolutely packing the fleece! We had not seen or felt so many skin wrinkles on a newborn body and neck. They almost flapped over on the sides. We suspected this was an indicator the fleece will just keep coming. He continued to look off-the-charts as far as we are concerned - luster & fineness like no other we had seen. We mean ridiculously fine! Comments had been that he could very well be one the nicest this ranch has produced.
We were so disappointed that he did not get a chance to show 2020 do to all shows being canceled with Covid. Since the local show was also canceled again spring of 2021 when opportunity presented, we decided to send him all the way to Nebraska to the Nationals. In his first show at the AOA Nationals he took a first in his class! The judge had all nice things to say about him. Those that got to take a close look made the comment he has an elite fleece type. We were planning to send him on to further shows but unfortunately he ended up being shorn on the ranch shearing day! Words don't describe the sadness felt when his prime show season was cut short.
Because of his amiable demeanor we did decide to continue to show him as an adult. Gold Country Wade Gease gave him a a 3rd in halter but Cheryl Gehly gave him a 1st with a Reserve Champion in walking fleece. With a score of 10 of 10 in fineness as a 2 year old when judges rarely give out 10s! Spring 2022 he went on to receive four 1st places ribbons & 2nds in walking fleece. We still wonder if the near average density scores from certain judges took his fineness into consideration. Dianne Timmerman gave him a 4 of 5 in density and Cheryl Gehly gave him a 3.5 of 5. We feel they know Suris. We hope to obtain a skin biopsy one day. At the AWE he was awarded a 1st & reserve color championship in halter! Comments besides his nice frame, were his fleece fineness and that re-locking all the way down to the belly. Between showing at CABA, AWE, GWAS and RMA if you saw the level of his competition it was really out of this world. We are extremely proud of his show record.
When we sent his 2nd fleece off for processing, they mill commented they had successfully processed fine fleece before but not any that was that "slick"
He will get dates very soon. However he may be underutilized as we have a predominantly gray suri herd. For those looking to add positive traits and improve fineness he may do wonders. Contact us.
